History [edit]

Mr. Magoo'southward first appearance was in the theatrical short cartoon "The Ragtime Bear" (1949), scripted by Millard Kaufman. His cosmos was a collaborative endeavour; animation director John Hubley is said to have partly based the character on his uncle Harry Woodruff,^[3] and W. C. Fields was another source of inspiration. In a legend circulating among medievalists, Harvard University professor Francis P. Magoun is likewise said to have been the model for the character.^[4] Withal, in that location is no evidence that artist Hubley knew the scholar. Columbia was reluctant to release the curt, but did so, only considering information technology included a deport. However, audiences quickly realized that the existent star was Magoo, one of the few "human" drawing characters ever produced in Hollywood at the time. The brusque became a box-office success.

The Magoo character was originally conceived as a hateful-spirited reactionary.^[five] Hubley, who had created Magoo, handed the series completely over to creative manager Pete Burness. Under Burness, Magoo won two Academy Awards for the studio with When Magoo Flew (1955) and Magoo'southward Puddle Jumper (1956).^[6] Burness scrubbed Magoo of his meanness and left only a few strange comments that made him appear senile or somewhat mad. Magoo was frequently accompanied in his on-screen escapades with his nephew Waldo, voiced at various times by either Jerry Hausner or Daws Butler.

In 1957, the record album Magoo in Hello-Fi was released. Side 1 consisted of a dialogue between Magoo and Waldo taking identify while Magoo was attempting to prepare his new sound system. Music on the album was composed and conducted by Dennis Farnon and his orchestra. Side two, "The Mother Magoo Suite", was a series of musical pieces which included two solos by Marni Nixon.

In 1959, Mr. Magoo starred in 1001 Arabian Nights, directed by Jack Kinney, UPA's beginning characteristic-length production.^[7]

In 1994, a Sega Mega Bulldoze game starring Mr. Magoo was in development and planned to be published by Millennium Interactive only never released.^[8]

In 1997, the live activeness one-act film Mr. Magoo was produced by Walt Disney Pictures on Dec 25, 1997 and starred Leslie Nielsen as the championship character.^[9] The moving picture received negative reviews from critics.^[10]

In 2010, a straight-to-video activeness-comedy picture based on the character, Kung Fu Magoo, was released on DVD on May xi, 2010. It features the voices of Jim Conroy, Chris Parnell, Dylan and Cole Sprouse, and Alyson Stoner.^[11] The picture is a Mexican–American co-production, produced by Classic Media, Ánima Estudios, and Santo Domingo Films.^[12] The picture was directed by Andrés Couturier. His most recent advent was in DreamWorks Blitheness's The Boss Baby, where he briefly appears on the cover of a comic book.

On tv [edit]

In the 1960s, UPA turned its attention to television, and began producing the series Mister Magoo for the character. Because UPA had close down its animation studio in 1959, the blitheness for these cartoons was done by Jack Kinney Productions and Larry Harmon Pictures. The cartoons suffered from varying character designs and choppier animation, due to rushed production schedules. Magoo's nephew Waldo (voiced, as in about of the theatrical cartoons, by Jerry Hausner) was seldom seen with his uncle, now appearing in his own episodes, introduced by a brief phone chat from Magoo's bespeak of view, which acted as a teaser. The Waldo episodes also featured a slick-talking con man named Prezly, and always ended with a return to Magoo saying, "Oh, that Waldo and Prezly. What'll they be up to next? Hee hee hee!"

Magoo's houseboy Cholly (i.e., "Charlie") took upward a lot of Waldo'due south slack. Cholly was an Asian stereotype with huge buck teeth and comically fractured English language pronunciation. Despite his stereotyped appearance and vocalization, he all the same normally plays directly man to Magoo's shenanigans, rather than existence a source of humor on his own. He is the "sane" one of the pair. His resourcefulness often saves Magoo from danger.

Nonetheless other cartoons featured Tycoon Magoo, voiced by Mel Blanc, and his bumbling banana Worcestershire.

During the UPA television era came Mister Magoo'southward Christmas Carol, an abbreviated only largely faithful retelling of Charles Dickens' tale. It was the first ever animated Christmas special fabricated for goggle box and the first 60 minutes-long animated TV special and is considered to be a holiday classic of the 1960s, ranking alongside A Charlie Chocolate-brown Christmas and How the Grinch Stole Christmas!.^[13] The special inspired the production of an animated Telly series titled The Famous Adventures of Mr. Magoo, which placed Magoo equally an actor in other well-known stories. Subsequently an introduction in Magoo's backstage dressing room, Magoo was depicted in such roles as The Count of Monte Cristo, Merlin in an upbeat retelling of the story of King Arthur, Friar Tuck in Robin Hood, and Puck in A Midsummer Dark's Dream.

In 1970, Mr. Magoo starred every bit Uncle Sam in the TV special Uncle Sam Magoo.

In the late 1970s, Mr. Magoo appeared in a new Saturday morning CBS television series called What's New, Mr. Magoo? This series was made nether license by the DePatie–Freleng studio, every bit UPA had by this time ceased in-firm cartoon product.

Nickelodeon's Weinerville anthologizes about of his shorts.

In 1997, Mr. Magoo was portrayed by Leslie Nielsen in a alive-action Mr. Magoo feature motion picture. It failed to notice disquisitional or popular success, and some back up groups for the disabled, including the National Federation of the Bullheaded, protested it on behalf of the blind and sight-impaired.^[14]

Quincy Magoo.^[16] In 2005, Mr. Magoo became the spokesman of the optical retail store Sterling Optical. Magoo also was featured in a series of commercials for Stag Beer in the 1960s. Also in the 1960s, the Polaner visitor sold its line of preserves in jars decorated with images of Mr. Magoo which, when empty, could then be used every bit drinking spectacles.

ASI Amusement^[17] has used Mr. Magoo cartoons to "warm upward" audiences when testing tv set one-act pilots.^{[18] [19]}

Mr. Magoo's catchphrase was "Oh Magoo, you've done it over again!"

Mr. Magoo is an alumnus of Rutgers University, Class of 1928. The reason behind this is that his creators wanted him to be "a higher alumnus who was even so fired up with the onetime school spirit [and they felt] Rutgers was the apotheosis of the 'old schoolhouse necktie' in America.".^[xx] He was definitely in a fraternity, since he would oftentimes shout out, "Blastoff, Beta, Gamma, Rho – Rutgers, Rutgers, Go – Go – Go!"

Another television series, simply titled Mr. Magoo, began airing in 2018.,^[21] this time made by Xilam, What is different in this show is that Mr. Magoo looks younger rather than existence elderly and has a pet domestic dog named Mr. True cat (because it meows) who replaces McBarker.^[22]
